I have installed CF 8.0.1 in my machine and I want to upgrade it to CF 9 because it is the version required by our software. Any ideas is greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

I wouldn't attempt an "upgrade", I'd install 9.0.1 in parallel, and duplicate your site on the CF9 server and fully regression & load test it. Then once it's tested OK, switch over to the CF9 server, leave the CF8 server there in place for a while, then once the CF9 version has proven itself in a live environment, switch off the CF8 version.

Solid advice for an existing CF 8 live site. However, the way I read it, Chiemen06 is currently in a development environment.

If so, then I'd say onwards to 9.0.2! There is no need for him to linger about with 9.0.1, unless he is using Verity. Even then, if I remember correctly, there is always the option to migrate collections from Verity to Solr in CF 9.0.2.

Verity is gone from 9.0.2, so I would be surprised if there was. I see no reference to Verity or migration in 9.0.2's CFAdmin.

Don't upgrade to CF 9; upgrade to CF 9.0.2. It is the best CF 9 build, containing all the upgrades and hotfixes and consisting of just one installation.

Unless you're using Verity. The chief difference between 9.0.1 and 9.0.2 is that Verity was (mostly) removed. If using Verity, go to 9.0.1, and start planning to migrate your search collections from Verity to Solr, because Verity ain't there after 9.0.1.

Indeed. Thanks for that, Adam.
